Week 2.

[azumods]

WEEK 2. The new week begins with new surroundings. The city you've been growing accustomed to over the past week is now well behind you as you set out on your journey proper; the terrain still seems rocky and steep here as you move downhill and to the south, dotted here and there with small ponds to the east and rocky outcroppings that you can climb on to the west. There are also large expanses of tall grass here, and the entire route is flanked with tall trees leading off into the forest a short ways. You're more than welcome to explore; just don't stray too far from the group - you wouldn't want to be left behind out here, for any reason. Wild Pokémon are abundant here, as anyone venturing into the tall grass will discover; they aren't inclined to attack you, however, simply watching with dull, dead eyes as you stumble through the area they've come to call home. The trip is difficult, and it's a lot of walking, but it's not unmanageable; fortunately enough, the route you're on should lead you directly to Valor Lakefront, assuming there are no complications along the way. From Thursday and beyond, the route takes a sharp turn west; in front of you lies what's clearly the ocean, large rocks jutting out just offshore tempering the waves. It's safe to go in the water if you so choose - assuming you can swim, that is - and the forested terrain has given way to a large beach with patches of tall grass here and there. Interestingly, there's a house located on the beach; whether it's inhabited or not is difficult to tell. Of course, exploring slightly north of the beach will reveal a path. Maybe it leads somewhere important... CURRENT LOCATION: ROUTE 213 POKEMON AVAILABLE: NEAR WATER SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week two of Azume; feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget that a write-up is due next weekend!]

[The fact that Bucky just sort of freezes up and stares at the guy probably says a lot on its own, but he doesn't look inclined to say anything, instead tensing up like he's ready to tackle someone to the ground in the event they do something stupid.]

[AS THE RESIDENT DOER OF STUPID THINGS Jake is actually not doing anything stupid right now; he'd told Zelda that he's not interested in trying to take this guy on, and he'd meant what he said.

That said, he will shoot a look at Bucky, because that reaction is definitely happening; he'll make a note of it, and probably check in on the guy later.]

[He sees that look, and it's obvious he doesn't want to talk about it, but here we are.]

Bucky.

[voice soft and careful as she moves into his field of vision, just so long as she's running around herding cats]

Here. Let's gather together and discuss our options.

[she's not about to get nosy but she isn't gonna leave him just ready to fuckin pounce either]

[semistableman]

[He smiles at her vaguely, nodding, clearly brought back to the group just like that, though he still looks tense.]

We've got a few to discuss.
